Joan smiled smugly and adjusted her hair, feeling happy for the unlikely coincidence that occured, validating her lie."Wow, he must really like you a lot. Has he given you the jewelry set he bought that day?" Miriam asked, turning to look at her.Joan instinctively wanted to shout of course. However, she knew that any mistake she commits right now will lead to her lie being found out, making her fake a pout."Not yet, he's probably waiting for me to apologize," she whispered, looking sad."Why don't you want to apologize? What did you do?" Miriam asked, feigning concern."I won't. I feel too ashamed. Besides, I can't swallow my pride, no matter how hard I try. I will just wait for him to come back on his own," she whispered 'sadly'."What if he refuses to apologize this time? What if he leaves you and chooses a humble girl that will worship and love him? What if he had bought it for his new girl instead of you?" She asked, looking sincerely at Joan."Shut up, stop saying ridiculous t
Anthony frowned as he heard the familiar enthusiastic voice calling out to him. Didn't he tell her not to cling around him in public?Hailey quickly turned, noticing a young girl that brought out her neck through the window of a very expensive SUV.The girl quickly got down from the car and began to run to Anthony waving a result sheet with a huge smile on her face.She was wearing biker shorts and a crop top, in addition to high heeled boots. She was also wearing an expensive designer bracelet, necklace and earring. Her hair was braided back and it seemed as if she applied light make-up.She was a heavenly beauty to behold. Her slender legs which seemed to go on for ages were flawless and shiny. Her sexy long legs and hourglass figure made everyone that saw her stop to stare at her, swallowing their saliva severally to endure their lust.Even her fellow women admired her beauty, while some others were jealous. However, because she showed up in an expensive car, in the company of a ch
Hailey sat in her car contemplatively, watching the two 'siblings' from the safety of her car.She smirked and scoffed."Anthony, why do you insist on telling people you're broke? Do you think that sending them away will be that easy? It's not possible dearie. Many things have already given you away. You dress in simple but expensive clothes. However, you can only deceive these nouveau riche people, who do not have a good eye to detect luxury. I can smell wealth from miles away, even if you dress in rags. I couldn't feel an aura of wealth on you in the past when I passed by your side. However, I do now. Even your faint perfume has given you away. Or is it your bike? It looks really ordinary and cheap, but the engine and leather are out of this world, showing how expensive it is. The more you hide, the more interested I will be in playing your games. Plain looking luxury goods are often more expensive because secret billionaires or people on a mission prefer to use them. So why are yo
Anthony watched him as he entered his office, while his secretary carried a tray of delicious snacks and fruit juice to him."I should poison that bastard to death so he will know how painful poison is to the body system," Anthony thought viciously, yearning to kill the demonic doctor."Just forget about killing him for now. We need to find out the people they're working with. Otherwise, even if we kill him, the operations will continue. They will simply find another greedy doctor that can easily be manipulated once a substantial amount of money is involved. If we don't uproot the root of the matter, they will keep sprouting like mushrooms in all parts of the country. We need to carefully monitor and fish them out. There might be a deeper conspiracy at work here. It might not merely be organ trafficking and harvesting, there might be a deeper and more troublesome evil at work here. And the only way to realize what he's up to is by patiently and discreetly monitoring him. It's by watc
Anthony had been taken aback for a split second, turning to the nurse in confusion."Excuse me? I don't understand. What are you talking about?" Anthony had asked with a frown on his face."You're indeed a very shameless and useless man. Your mother has been admitted for a month, yet you have not deposited even a dime for her treatment. Day after day, she gets weaker than she initially was. What's wrong with you? Do you want her to die? If you had deposited money for her treatment the moment she got admitted, she would have made full recovery. But now, her chances of full recovery are less than twenty percent!" The nurse said angrily, her eyes blazing fire."I don't understand what you're talking about. My mother said that the doctor said he doesn't have a diagnosis yet. I was even going to transfer her out of this hospital if a diagnosis is not found after a week. So what deposit are you talking about?" Anthony had asked, his heart pounding in fear as he began to have an idea of what
Anthony laid on the bed crying pitifully, sniffing and shaking his head in sorrow."Mummy, why did you do this to me? Why did you keep hiding it till it got too late? Why did you let the doctor see us as helpless penniless victims? Why did you indirectly reassure him to take advantage of us? Why, mummy, why did you humiliate us like this? Why did you decide to die? You are so cruel, do you know that? Like all beautiful women, you're cruel, selfish and heartless. You only thought about soothing your own guilt and mind, but have you ever thought about me? You only yearned to go join my father in the afterlife, have you ever thought about the effects it will have on me? Have you ever thought about how I will feel after being orphaned? You're the only family I know, but you cruelly left me, without even giving me enough of a chance to fight for your survival. You didn't even try to live, you didn't, mummy you did not. Why? Do you miss him that much? Do you miss your lover so much that you
Anthony quickly walked back into the room, quickly looking around for a place to hide."Tell the matron to send cleaners to clean up the dark room, I'm thinking of transferring another patient in there," the doctor said, walking towards the ward room."Fuck! He's coming here," Anthony said in alarm, looking around."Calm down!" The system said, followed by an ear splitting sound of an alarm."Fire! Fire! There's a fire!" Someone shouted, immediately the alarm went off."Fire? Call the security immediately? Where did the fire start? What caused it?" The doctor shouted urgently, walking towards the directions where he heard the alarm.The hospital became a chaotic mess because of the fire alarms, even those in the accident and emergency tried to disengage themselves from their casts, where their limbs were hanged or strapped to, hoping to reduce the oedema affecting the injured areas.Those that were a bit healthier than the rest jumped out of their various wards, making a dash for the
"I'm ready anytime, even now. Set up the task button," Anthony said, sitting comfortably on the bed.A green screen appeared before him with a light beep."Select the grade of the mission you want to embark on," the system's bell-like voice said, drawing Anthony's attention to the task."Easy!" Anthony leisurely tapped, making the so-called emotionless system shocked."Eh? Why easy? You should have gone past the level of taking easy missions. You've not taken an easy mission in the past, what's happening? Is it that you're feeling lazy, or what? The reward for fulfilling an easy ranked mission is really low," it rattled out, making Anthony roll his eyes."The task function appeared before me, the tab for easy tasks was right there, right? What prevents me from tapping the easy button? If you don't want me to tap the easy button, you should have not allowed the easy button to be there at all," he said leisurely, obviously not looking forward to the next mission."I can't remove it.
